Typical Fish camp style place but nicer. They have good grilled and broiled fish in addition to the usual fried plates. They also have good chicken parmigiana and hush puppies.
Scallops were NOT scallops! Premium prices require authenticity in food offerings. I’m disappointed. Cocktail sauce seemed to lack horseradish for a hint of spice but was marginally acceptable. Great service and friendly staff!!
This place was packed. We had to wait to get our table. I have tried other places where they serve similar food. The broiled platter was delicious as well as the fried one. We just didn’t like the fact that we had to wait a lot for the broiled platter, almost an hour but since it was busy I didn’t complain on that. Food is high quality. I wish they keep something spicy always for people who like their food that way. The only thing they have is texas pete which our waitress forgot to bring and when she did we were almost done. I recommend this place if you want quality and delicious seafood for cheap.
The service was amazing. The food was delicious. We ordered crab legs, jumbo shrimp with a salad. Whatever you do not use the butter sauce (the butter that you dip the crab legs into) tasted like motor oil. I’ve never had any like it. And it smelled like old used lard. Everything else was perfect!
I love this place! Always order the family chicken tenders. It comes with so much food and its reasonably priced. Of course every now and then I have to wait on our food but come on it's a busy place, heck I have had to wait at McDonald's for longer before. Five stars from me!
I ordered pickup. My wife has ordered the Chicken Sandwich repeatedly as she says it beats everyone she's tried and she's had them all, Says not sure how they bread it but juicy and seasoned better than KFC and all fast food, I ordered the crab Legs meal and got a very good portion of pretty fresh legs , more than I expected. Over all the meal was exceptional
We always enjoy Oceanview. Honestly the chicken liver plate is the ticket if you like livers. Cheapest eats on the menu. Cooked fresh
Great food and reasonably priced. A fun nautical-themed exterior and bright, open space inside with lots of attention to detail in the decor. I got the snow crab legs, which were $35, but a very generous portion (3 clusters of legs). Plenty to fill me up. Note, they don't have Old Bay, and the melted butter isn't real dairy butter. I had the steamed veggies on the side--skip those next time. They seem to be just reheated frozen veggies and the texture was wierd. My partner got the clams, and they were fried to perfection. Even the "small" order was a hearty serving, piled high atop the plate. The hush puppies they brought to the table when we arrived were absolutely perfect. Possibly the best hush puppies I have ever had. Overall a pleasant dining experience.
